There was a WaPo article about this too [1]. I feel bad for the software developers who had to work on this website. They were probably understaffed and under-resourced and had to release something they knew was not working. Edit: Note that the old radar.weather.gov was great and well-liked, but they had to get rid of it due to its reliance on Flash.
